I am sure that a woman writer is responsible for this
Honestly, this farce that there is no difference in interests and preferences in media consumption between men and women has already worn my patience thin. And I'm not saying this with an anonymous internet troll bias or anything like that; I'm talking about a basic observation that any human being who doesn't want to deny reality can see.
I'm not saying that women are incapable of writing a good script for, say, a movie, or even a game. Just that the interests are obviously and distinctly different. Leaving aside the exceptions - because there are always exceptions in any generalization - it is evident from the average consumption habits that women like romances, stories focused on drama (like reality shows or Korean soap operas, at least my wife and her friends seem to love them) and some other things like that. So, when they write something, it's these points that they use. Just look at the growing focus on this type of content in games lately: all the energy spent on things that are essentially superfluous to the narrative and only serve to create unnecessary conflicts, and that is the basic essence of the type of media they consume.
The problem arises when they try to enter spaces typically for men, who tend to care much more about the consistency of the setting, rules, patterns, interrelationships of systems, consistency of lore, and similar issues. Women make products for other women, and then everyone is shocked when (most) men say the products are crap. Obviously, they are crap - you are literally selling a product to the wrong audience, disguising it as something it is not. If I wanted to read a romance book, I would have bought a romance book. Similarly, if I wanted to play a visual novel and dating simulator, I would have chosen to play that. But instead, they disguise all this shit with an RPG facade and get angry when the result is a cat painted with gray dots and you want to convince me that it's a jaguar. And when I say I don't want your stupid cat, you look at me like I'm the weirdo.
It's like society is on meth or something, goddamn, I'm too old for this shit.
